Luxuriate in the magnificence of this impressive group retreat at Londesborough in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Sleeping 20 guests, the nine-bedroom hideaway is the perfect place to gather with your nearest and dearest for that special celebration. Situated in award-winning gardens, 5.5 miles from Pocklington, the dog-friendly former hunting lodge is 18.5 miles from York.

Stroll into the ornate Victorian building via the elegant hall to discover a fabulous array of rooms to enjoy with your friends or family. Head into one lounge to switch on the Smart TV and light the wood burner or choose the main lounge if you would like to watch something different. There is also a lounge/diner, where you can gaze out across your surroundings from a window seat and congregate round the table for hearty feasts. Prepare piles of food for your group using the excellent amenities of the capacious kitchen, then make fresh coffee in the machine and sip it at the table in the breakfast room. There is also a utility room and a WC downstairs. Follow the sweeping staircase up to the first floor to find your bedrooms. These include five super-king-sizes, two king-sizes, one double and one family room with a king-size bed on a lower level and two single beds on a mezzanine. There are four bathrooms in total, a family bathroom, a family shower room, an en-suite bathroom and a Jack and Jill bathroom. Spill out into your private garden to play games on the lawn, light the BBQ and unwind in the summer house. Wander through the gorgeous, shared gardens whenever you choose.

Plan a group trip into York to see the famous minster and city walls. Stroll through the Shambles, pausing to shop or to find a restaurant or cafe with space for your party.
